O-ring loss data for quantizers followed by an O-ring device and an accumulator
William A. Struzinski · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1981
A mathematical model is developed to compute the O-ring loss for quantizers followed by an O-ring device and an accumulator. A 3-bit (8 level) quantizer is selected as an example. The O-ring loss is then computed using Gaussian input statistics for a detection probability of 0.5 and false alarm probabilities of 10−2, 10−3, 10−4, and 10−6. The O-ring loss is computed as a function of the number of channels O red and the number of samples in the accumulator. It is concluded that there will be a large signal-to-noise ratio loss if integration is performed following O ring.
